In Switzerland, the everyday word for a haircut is coiffeur . In the English-speaking world, it’s barber . At The Good Barbers , we’re happily both.

Our craft is barbering—tight blends, clean scissor work, beard design, and a proper hot-towel ritual. Our mindset is Swiss coiffeur culture—punctual, methodical, and built around consultation. That’s why clients in Zürich-Enge (Kreis 2) book us as “barbers,” yet describe the result as the work of a meticulous Herren-Coiffeur .

What does that look like in the chair?

It starts with a short, focused conversation. We ask how your hair behaves on a rainy morning, how much time you’ll spend styling, and what you want your cut to do after week two. From there, we choose the right balance of clipper and scissors so the shape grows out cleanly , not just perfectly on day one. You can see how we structure appointments and finishes on our Prices and Services pages, and if you’re ready to lock in a time, head straight to Book.

Here are a few moments that capture the difference:

• Adrian had a client come in with a picture of a skin fade that looked great online but would fight the client’s strong crown pattern. Instead of copying the photo, he mapped a slightly longer transition with scissor work through the top. Two weeks later the client sent a message: “Still looks tidy without product.” That’s coiffeur thinking, barber execution.

• Simi is known for beard symmetry. She’ll show you where the natural cheek line wants to sit and how to keep the neckline crisp between visits. He finishes with a straight-razor cleanup and a hot towel—small steps that feel old-school in the best way.

• Elisei brings precision to classic cuts: clean side part, controlled texture, nothing over-styled. It’s the kind of cut that looks good in a meeting and even better after a weekend.

• We keep the rituals that make barbering special—hot towels, steady lather, and a calm pace when the blade is on your skin. But we also hold ourselves to Swiss standards: on-time starts, clean stations, and clear aftercare.

Barber or Coiffeur—Which Should You Book?

• The name matters a little because it sets expectations. “Barber” promises clipper mastery and beard design. “Coiffeur” promises structure, consultation, and consistency. Book either— you’ll get both.

• If you’re aiming for a skin fade with a softer top, ask for it. If you prefer a classic scissor cut that grows in elegantly, we’ll plan it. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend a shape that suits your hair density, face shape, and routine. When you’re ready, Book your appointment —we’ll keep it punctual.

• Beard Services That Respect Skin

• Good beard work is as much about skin as it is about hair. We shape to enhance your jawline , not just shorten the length, and we prep properly so the finish is close without irritation. Ask us for a lightweight two-step routine you can actually keep up with.

• You’ll find the options and timings listed on Services.
